> if there is demand for this kind of short rentals, why wouldn't they be allowed? There is demand for a lot of things in a lot of areas, but it isn't allowed because it would be for the benefit of a select few at the cost of the many. Casinos, bars, hotels -- any kind of business, really, aren't allowed everywhere even though there may be demand for those services from people who don't actually have to live in that area.

"Think of my backyard" is slightly less compelling than "think of the children"

  Just because "think of the children" is an overused argument, doesn't mean we should stop caring about children entirely to avoid that phrasing. Same goes for the "not in my backyard" complaints.

    It also doesn't mean that saying it makes a compelling argument.
